Extract from the Novel All the Fish in the Sky
Ziggy Zezsyazeoviennazabrizkie's All the Fish in the Sky is a whimsical and surreal work that revolves around the relationships between characters of personified animals, inanimate objects and a nomadic boy-god figure suspended in a purgatory-like space. Ziggy writes innocent and curious descriptions that simultaneously evoke these underlying societal issues about sexuality, religion and the environment.

Fantasteen Saving Ludo
Kamu tahu … kadang-kadang kamu berdoa, dan .…Yah, Tuhan memang selalu mendengarkan. Tapi, yang mendengar bukan cuma Tuhan, lho. Kadang-kadang, ada ‘sesuatu’ yang lain yang juga ikut mendengarmu. Di tengah-tengah doamu yang paling putus asa, ‘dia’ akan mendengarkan. Yang bisa kamu lakukan hanya menunggu, apakah Tuhan cukup cepat untuk menjawabmu … atau kamu bisa mendapati ‘dia’ memberimu jalan pintas lebih cepat sebelum Tuhan mengirimkan jawaban milik-Nya—dan, kamu tahu benar kadang-kadang pesan dari Tuhan sering pending. Dan, asal tahu saja, ‘dia’ lebih jago membujuk daripada kurir Tuhan. Kalau sudah begitu, berarti kamu benar-benar sial [Mizan Publishing, DAR, Fantasteen, Novel, Fantasi, Remaja, Indonesia]
White Wedding
Ini kisah kecil tentang gadis mungil bernama Elphira. Dia terlahir albino. Drai ujung kepala hingga ujung kaki, semuanya putih. Kadang-kadang, Elphira menganggap dirinya hantu.

In a series of five case studies that each exemplify a key component of the feminist translator studies "to...
Happy Stories, Mostly
In their stunning fiction debut, queer Indonesian writer Norman Erikson Pasaribu blends together speculative fiction and dark absurdism, drawing from Batak and Christian cultural elements. Longlisted for the International Booker Prize, Happy Stories, Mostly introduces “one of the most important Indonesian writers today” (Litro Magazine). These twelve short stories ask what it means to be almost happy—to nearly find joy, to sort-of be accepted, but to never fully grasp one's desire. Joy shimmers on the horizon, just out of reach. An employee navigates their new workplace, a department of Heaven devoted to archiving unanswered prayers; a tourist in Vietnam seeks solace following her son’s suicide; a young student befriends a classmate obsessed with verifying the existence of a mythical hundred-foot-tall man. A tragicomic collection that probes the miraculous, melancholy nature of survival amid loneliness, Happy Stories, Mostly considers an oblique approach to human life: In the words of one of the stories’ narrators, “I work in the dark. Like mushrooms. I don’t need light to thrive.”

Residents of a new apartment block are woken in the early hours by the eerie sound of a table saw that once operated on the building’s grounds...
